Continuous track covering device

Abstract

A continuous track covering device for a continuous track vehicle that prevents dirt and debris from falling therefrom when the vehicle is being transported. The continuous track covering device includes a cover having a first panel, a second panel, and a third panel linearly aligned with one another. The cover can be wrapped around the exposed portions of a continuous track of a continuous track vehicle when the vehicle is being transported. The device further includes one or more loop fasteners that can receive a strap therethrough and one or more pockets that can receive a magnet therein, wherein the straps and magnets are used to removably secure the cover to the continuous track. Additionally, one or more side hooks are included on the cover to further secure the cover to the continuous track.

We claim: 
     
       1. A continuous track covering device, comprising:
 a cover composed of a flexible material having a first panel, a second panel, and a third panel, wherein said first panel is secured to said second panel and said second panel is secured to said third panel; 
 wherein said first panel, said second panel, and said third panel each include a front surface and a rear surface, such that said rear surface is adapted to rest against a continuous track of a continuous track vehicle; 
 a plurality of pockets disposed on said front surface of said second panel in a linear arrangement, each pocket of said plurality of pockets including an open upper end; 
 a plurality of magnets, wherein each magnet of said plurality of magnets is removably disposed within one pocket of said plurality of pockets, wherein said plurality of magnets are configured to secure said rear surface of said second panel against an outer side of said continuous track; 
 wherein said first panel comprises one or more loop fasteners disposed on a side thereof and adapted to receive a strap therethrough for removably securing said first panel, said second panel, and said third panel to said continuous track in a U-shaped configuration. 
 
     
     
       2. The continuous track covering device of  claim 1 , wherein said second panel comprises a first side opposing a second side, wherein said first panel is secured to said first side of said second panel and said third panel is secured to said second side of said second panel, such that said first panel, said second panel, and said third panel are arranged side by side. 
     
     
       3. The continuous track covering device of  claim 1 , wherein said third panel comprises one or more loop fasteners on a side thereof and adapted to receive a strap therethrough for removably securing said third panel to said continuous track. 
     
     
       4. The continuous track covering device of  claim 3 , further comprising a strap having a first end and a second end, wherein said strap is disposed through said one or more loop fasteners of said third panel and said first end and said second end are removably secured to said continuous track. 
     
     
       5. The continuous track covering device of  claim 1 , wherein said third panel comprises a first end and a second end each having one or more D-rings thereon for removably securing a strap thereto in order to secure said cover over said continuous track. 
     
     
       6. The continuous track covering device of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more side hooks disposed on said third panel and adapted to removably secure said cover to an interior side of said continuous track. 
     
     
       7. The continuous track covering device of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of apertures disposed on a periphery of said cover, wherein a first aperture is disposed on a panel and a second aperture is disposed on an adjacent panel such that said first and second aperture are adapted to align with one another in order to receive a tie therethrough. 
     
     
       8. The continuous track covering device of  claim 1 , further comprising a strap having a first end and a second end, wherein said strap is disposed through said one or more loop fasteners of said first panel and said first end and said second end of said strap are removably secured to said third panel.
